    Power Play Previews Wing Commander III (October 28, 2022)

    Oh yeah, the back to the good old times. It really felt like a better world then (well just perhaps because I was younger). Time was flying by much slower... ... I miss the good old times. Every Saturday was Wing Commander III day. Playing the game on my 486DX4 up and down... Damn... it's hard...

    Famous Privateer 3 Preview Crisply Scanned (October 17, 2022)

    Oh man, I've really seen some of this stuff before. But alas... it's really a pity! Well, sounds like a good story for me. Would definitely have loved to play this! Privateer 2 was really bad compared to the "original"...

    Star Citizen Commemorates First Decade of Development with WC Easter Egg (October 10, 2022)

    Yeah, I'm angry with myself that I've spent money on this game. Would never ever do it again... We were promised some ship shapes USB sticks. Nothing ever has happened...

    Getting Deep Into the Weeds of Privateer’s Faction Reputation System (July 15, 2022)

    So, this means I'll need to find time to play the game again and try this one out ... Last time, all factions except Retros were friendly or neutral. Anyway, I think the good ol' games still were designed much more thoroughly than today. You had no internet and needed to check everything out...

    WC4 Fan Remake Revamps Lexington and Much More (March 4, 2022)

    Thank you LOAF for the explanation! @Pedro: I can't wait to play the game. I really wanted to play Wing Commander IV again for a long time. But you know that... every time something else comes in between... and your project gives me the power to wait a bit until it's finished. Now I just...

    WC4 Fan Remake Revamps Lexington and Much More (March 4, 2022)

    Oh oh... I see I've started another discussion with my comments on the green color. The olive green really does look a lot better. I realize, of course, that from a Wing Commander point of view, everything has to be historically accurate. That's why you can't use the color scheme from Wing...

    WC4 Fan Remake Revamps Lexington and Much More (March 4, 2022)

    No problem Pedro, I am convinced that you will manage it - as always. 😁 Think of it as feedback rather than criticism. Anyway, the green Arrows still hurt my eyes... 😝

    WC4 Fan Remake Revamps Lexington and Much More (March 4, 2022)

    The new model looks really great! Excellent work! But... is it only me... or are the spotlights in the hangar bay too colorful? Well, I mean it just looks too "playful". Just because it's possible to use so many colored lights doesn't mean you should. I would decrease the brightness by about 20...

    Do you have any grey poupon?

    Yes, that's correct. If your standing gets better and better torwards the affected faction (e.g. torwards Hunters, when you shot down Retros) the number of times you have to use the communication option 3 decreases again. When I played Privateer the last time, I was able to get Pirates and...

    Do you have any grey poupon?

    Yes, taunting indeed makes a difference, but this does not work on normal or story missions. Use communication option 4 to taunt a friendly ship. Even friendly merchants will attack you, if you just repeat it often enough! More interesting: As far as I remember you can use communication option...

    French Privateer Review Is a Visual Treat (September 13, 2021)

    The cockpit pictures are wrong associated on the 5th picture: First picture shows Tarsus, not Galaxy. Third picture shows Centurion, not Tarsus. Last picture shows Galaxy, not Centurion. Obviously only the Orion is really correct 😁 Privateer 1 is still my favorite Wing Commander game of all...

    I've Created a WC4 HD Video Pack

    Yeah, I know what you mean... I'm always trying to produce the best results for the projects I'm working on. But I'm afraid, I don't have a lot of time for projects and for Wing Commander anymore. Yeah, it feel's like time is running faster and faster as you're getting older. It still feels like...

    I've Created a WC4 HD Video Pack

    The quality of the intro is incredible! Really fantastic and a big step compared to the DVD version! I mean... I own the original DVDs but I have to admit that especially the sound of the original DVDs is really bad compared to the "old" episodes that were available here on the CIC back in...

    I've Created a WC4 HD Video Pack

    Thank you very much for your quick response! You can use a command line in windows using cmd.exe and switch to the folder with the MP4-files. Then just use: ren *.MP4 *.VOB That just changes the extension for all MP4 files to VOB.

    I've Created a WC4 HD Video Pack

    I've downloaded the German Version 4.0 and recognized that the included files are now MP4 files and no longer VOB files. I've not had the time to test it yet... just wanted to ask, if this is correct? Anyway, thanks for the improved video quality. It is just AWESOME!

    WC4 Remake

    Four little words: "This is just awesome!". Can't wait to play it when it's ready! I never liked the original WC4 Cockpit and preferred the WC3/Armada version with visual cockpits and not just a HUD.

    Snug as a Bug in a Rug (June 13, 2020)

    The Armada Arrow ... light, fast, maneuverable, superiour speed ... can outrun any ship at any time (except Wasp with booster)... ... if you can outmaneuver or outrun it... why not? And yes, the ship is not intended to kill carriers... killing Gorans in Armada with my Arrow was fun nevertheless...

    Take a Quick Trip to the Gemini Sector (March 3, 2020)

    Somebody should tell him that selling goods is quite easy... If I'm not totally wrong it was pressing "Sell" on the interface... selecting the item and then pressing "Alt+Enter". Yeah, I need to play it again to celebrate the good ol' times!
